losses to result, and in some cases it may be the only way for a company to move forward

change to privatization to total closure of a workplace.

Objective
A poorly executed retrenchment proc-
ess can lead to loss of productivity, low
morale, and decreasing economic per-
formance. While it will always be diffi-
cult to maintain employee morale dur-
ing a retrenchment exercise, there is
likely to be a better response to a proc-
ess that employees and their represen-
tatives can understand and contribute
towards. Malaysia has basic rules for
dealing with collective job losses and
reorganization. An important aspect of
developing and implementing a re-
trenchment plan is ensuring compli-
ance with national laws and the terms
of collective bargaining agreements.
This not only ensures that the em-
ployer is doing the right thing, but also
minimizes the legal risk arising from
the retrenchment process.
